button cards

How much fun can you have with cardstock, buttons and a glue gun? Tons! These cards are the perfect triad of fun, easy, and gift-able. We made them to send as Mother's Day cards and thank you notes. A set tied with a ribbon would make a perfect Mother's Day gift for Grandma this year.

You will need:

• Cardstock
• Assorted buttons
• Glue gun (or craft glue)
• Corner-rounding punch, if desired

Print the stems onto cardstock using this template found at the fabulous How About Orange. Cut and fold cards.

Round the corners, if desired, pour out the buttons onto the table, and start gluing!

Girlkiddo, her cousin and I had a fabulous time gluing buttons in various combinations. A glue gun works the best because it dries so quickly. If you are concerned about your kiddos using hot glue, craft glue works as well. Just be sure to leave the card horizontal until the glue dries so the buttons don't slide down.

Many thanks to Jessica at How About Orange for sharing her design and the wonderful template!

Happy gluing!

Those are so cute! I think we'll give it a go. My 6YO has been having hot-glue-gun-withdrawl for several weeks now.

Those are WONDERFUL! and you know, they'd be easy to make en masse for a kid with lots of aunts and Grandmas. Very nice.
